FREE artwork and photography!
Hi, I am an author and a very amateur artist. If anyone is looking for an image for their book, feel free to use any of my work free of charge. I thought it might be a nice way to help out some of my fellow authors. I know how hard it can be finding photos and art for book skins and promotion. Some sites say they charge nothing but then you get to the fine print and there is always a catch. My stuff is totally free, it's not my forte, i just do it for fun, so if anyone can find some use for it, that would be cool. Some of my artwork and photography can be found here:
http://williamlkoriginalart.weebly.com/ Like I said, it's very amateur but if you find something you'd like to use, have at it. Let me know what ya think! Thanks! Last edited by Williamlk; 11-30-2010 at 09:43 PM. |

That's very generous of you, William. I'm not in need of a cover art at the moment, but I'm sure that others will take you up on your offer!
Cheers Vicki |

In the spirit on this thread, I too would like to help people make covers. I'm a photographer and a painter (digital painting as well).

I just added some new content to my art website. Would love to hear any feedback. I like the driftwood art myself, it was fun and therapeutic to create. Hope you enjoy it!

Great idea, William! I tend to go with photographs for my covers since I'm not a good judge of art, but I'm sure there are writers, especially literary works? that would match well with paintings.
